2.1 Litefoot and Sanders
Written by Justin Richards
Directed by Lisa Bowerman
Featuring Chloe Howman
Women are being killed on the streets of London, and the evidence points to it being the work of a vicious vampire.

It’s now a case for Litefoot and Sanders – but Jago isn’t going to go away quietly…

2.2 The Necropolis Express

Directed by Lisa Bowerman

Strange things are happening in the pauper’s graveyard at Charnel’s End.

Someone from Litefoot’s past has come back to haunt him, and things may never be the same again…

2.3 The Theatre of Dreams
Written by Jonathan Morris
Directed by Lisa Bowerman
Featuring Duncan Wisbey, Jennie Stoller, Alex Mallinson

2.4 The Ruthven Inheritance
Written by Andy Lane

The pathology skills of Professor Litefoot and Dr Sacker are called upon by Lord Ruthven, who asks them to catalogue a cache of bones beneath his country estate. And so begins the endgame… as a plan long laid come to its glorious fruition.
